Our learning remote has a spacious, clean layout and sleek, rounded shape that sits perfectly in your hand. And because it can control your TV’s volume, power and input selection, you won’t need another remote.

Fixed an issue that could cause intermittent video freezing/stuttering with high-bitrate HD recordings. After discussion with Arqiva (who manage the UK’s broadcast infrastructure), we implemented improved behaviour on our latest T3-R model. This behaviour has now replaced the Automatic Service Update on the T2-R:Cadbury Gifts Clarks Complete Unity Yoga Converse Crampton & Moore Outlet Crocs Currys Currys Clearance Automatic trash removal now takes place in Standby. Previously this would take place after boot-up and could slow the system down if there was a lot to remove.

The instruction text in the Channels Editor (e.g. used for editing Favourites) could incorrectly say ‘select channel’ when it should say ‘deselect channel’ and vice versa. Your T2•R will update automatically overnight whilst in standby, as long as you haven't disabled automatic updates in the System Settings menu Ensure your aerial is connected to your T2•R and an HDMI or AV cable is connected from your T1 to your TV. An issue that could make it impossible to set series recordings for some programmes. This happened when the T2•R received two regional variations of the same channel, e.g. BBC One SE at 1 and BBC One LON at 800. This did not affect channels with +1 (e.g. ITV & ITV+1) or HD alternatives (e.g. ITV & ITV HD), only regional variations.Finding what to watch and record on over 70 channels is effortless with the beautiful 8-day TV Guide. Handy, because Freeview has 95% of the nation's favourite TV to enjoy! You’ll always be entertained with 70 TV channels, 15 HD channels and 25+ radio stations from Freeview. Simply connect to your rooftop aerial (indoor aerials are unreliable and not recommended) An issue that could cause the box to freeze and become unresponsive during the initialisation of the Hard Drive after boot. OPTICAL: Connect to an AV Receiver or external sound system for Dolby Digital surround sound (when supported) Manhattan menus can now be used when using interactive services with video, like 211 Ketchup TV and 265 Planet Knowledge. Previously you needed to exit the service or change the channel first. (1.09)

HD channels are crisp and vibrant. The TR-R excavated detail from Bodyguard's murkier scenes while visually complex props like computer displays were well-rendered. In comparison, standard-def channels are soft and pallid. With SD or HD, motion is smooth with no untoward judder provided the source material is up to it. At this price you don’t get luxuries like app control; use the electronic programme guide (EPG) to select channels for viewing or recording instead. This can also ‘remind’ you when a programme is due to start and supports series-linking. If there’s a schedule clash, you’re invited to set recordings on the offending channel individually as some showings might not be problematic.

If there's a schedule clash, you're invited to set recordings on the offending channel individually as The file system has been updated to make it resilient to corruption caused by unexpected interruptions (e.g. power loss) during asynchronous data transfer. The ASU algorithm has been improved so that existing services that are available from multiple transmitters are only replaced when their signal falls below a threshold.Fixed an issue whereby the volume could not be adjusted on non-HD channels when the ‘Audio Output’ in Picture & Sound Settings was set to ‘Surround’.

Programmes deleted and emptied from the Trash could not be re-recorded and any repeats were indicated as already recorded. Record 2 programmes at once. Need to record more? The T2-R will suggest alternative broadcasts to make it work The Schedule could continue showing split events as ‘Searching…’ even after they had finished airing. The TV Guide now indicates in the info area when a programme is running late, starting late or has started early.

How to Update

The neatness, clarity and responsiveness of the T2-R’s everyday user interface is worth praising. It’s driven by a decent handset that can also operate many TVs. Though this was thought fixed in 1.03, a further issue was discovered whereby seemingly randomly, channels or scheduled recordings could be removed during the Automatic Service Update in standby. This could happen in locations receiving signals from multiple transmitters with signal variations. The T2•R can also be manually set to a resolution in the Picture & Sound section of the Settings menu. This could cause an issue if you set a resolution (e.g. 1080p), then move the T2•R to another TV that doesn't support that resolution. It was not possible to set an instant recording on a channel immediately after using an MHEG red button service on that channel. It was still possible to record from the Channel Banner or TV Guide. If your T2•R is connected to the internet and left in standby, it will update automatically overnight, unless you havedisabled automatic updates in the System Settings menu.Please see below for more information about updating, including how to update by USB.
